GUWAHATI, India June 16 (Reuters) - A federal Indian minister's house was set on fire by a mob in the remote northeastern state of Manipur, which has been hit by clashes between members of rival ethnic groups for over a month, officials said on Friday.
Junior foreign minister R. K. Ranjan Singh's office confirmed that a mob vandalised and set fire to his house in the Manipur capital Imphal.
Singh is a federal minister in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government.
Modi's ruling party also governs the state of Manipur.
Civil society organisations from the Meitei and Kuki communities said hundreds of people from their communities were injured and homeless.
